How to Have a Successful Money Date

Let me share a little secret with you – I have a date every week. But this rendezvous doesn’t involve candlelight dinners or dressed-up evenings; instead, it involves my money. That’s right, I’ve been practicing the concept of “money dates,” and truth be told, it’s been a game-changer in reshaping my relationship with money. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how I set up my money dates and how you can structure yours in a way that aligns with what you want and makes them enjoyable.

I confess my financial journey has been a roller coaster ride, and money dates have been my safety harness. They’ve provided me with a platform for financial reflection and planning. We’ll explore some interesting techniques like setting intentions, creating a money manifesto, and more. And let’s not forget about the ‘why’ of our financial decisions – knowing that can be a powerful motivator during our financial highs and lows.
